Prior to tonight’s series opener, the #WhiteSox reinstated RHP Reynaldo López from the 10-day DL. I assume Fulmer will be used out of the bullpen the rest of the year to try and get some work.

flavum Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 (edited) I forgot Holmberg was outrighted, so he was added to the 40-man, and the Sox are at 38. Pretty sure Cordell is on the 40-man. Actually, 37. Forgot about Gonzalez gone. Edited September 1, 2017 by flavum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron883 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Fulmer? The sox are propelling the tank at ludicrous speed. Fulmer is straight up awful. I have absolutely no hope in him. His stuff is so mediocre and he has no control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get him up to work with Coop daily out of the pen and prep to make him a reliever. Kind of a no brainer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree with your expert opinion. Fulmer has a great upside to him. Two years removed from college ball is not a good evaluation timeline to be making decisions on his chances of success.

Blackout Friday Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I expect the plan for Fulmer is to cut down his arsenal to focus on 2-3 pitches and move him to the bullpen. Let him focus on commanding those 2 or 3 and go all out for 15-25 pitches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you I always hope for the best and never like to say someone is a bust after a short period of time to develop especially being yo-yo ed up and down without any reason to do that to him.

You absolutely cannot call a guy drafted in the first round 2 years ago a bust unless his arm physically fell off. Hell, look at the RF'er on this team right now or the relievers we traded to see guys who looked like crap for years before seemingly putting it together They took a gamble that he could remain a starter but now seems destined to the bullpen. Let him get his feet wet more there with Coop to finish out this meaningless year then he can spend the off season re-focusing on that. I think he settles in as a reliever where he can let his goofy mechanics fly at max effort knowing he only has to get 3 guys out.

BlackSox13 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/pro...p;Page=Analysis According to baseball cube Fulmer has averaged 93.5 on his fastball as a starter this year. Looking ahead to 2018, as a reliever Fulmer should see an uptick in velo on the fastball. That with his curve ball and intensity make me think he could be a damn good closer in time.

He isn't the same pitcher any more. The problem is that he is the same pitcher. He really has not progressed as a starter aside from learning the cutter. He still struggles to throw strikes but the repertoire is still there. If the Sox can get Fulmer to throw strikes with his fastball and cutter as a reliever, his knuckle curve will be absolutely devastating with two strikes. There's alot of potential in Fulmer as a reliever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted September 1, 2017 Author Share Posted September 1, 2017 Fulmer is probably the best example in recent years of the damage you can do by pushing a pitcher too fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
